Cybersecurity for Indonesia's upstream, midstream, and downstream operations

Oil & Gas

Indonesia's oil and gas sector including Pertamina, SKK Migas production sharing contractors, and LNG operators faces sophisticated cyber threats targeting operational technology in refineries, offshore platforms, pipeline systems, and distribution networks. A successful attack on oil and gas OT systems can cause environmental disasters, endanger worker safety, and disrupt national energy supply. Alpha Code delivers specialized cybersecurity for oil and gas operations covering SCADA/DCS protection, safety instrumented system security, and compliance with Indonesian energy sector regulations.

Threat Landscape

Understanding the risks

Key cybersecurity threats facing organizations in this sector.

01

Refinery & Processing Plant Attacks

Refinery DCS and safety instrumented systems (SIS) are targeted by sophisticated malware designed to cause process disruption or physical damage. Attacks similar to TRITON/TRISIS specifically target safety systems, potentially causing explosions or environmental releases.

02

Offshore Platform OT Compromise

Offshore production platforms rely on satellite communications and remote SCADA access, creating unique attack vectors. Compromised offshore systems face extended recovery times due to remote locations and limited physical access.

03

Pipeline SCADA & Leak Detection Manipulation

Pipeline SCADA systems controlling flow rates, pressure management, and leak detection are critical targets. Manipulation of these systems can mask pipeline breaches, cause overpressure events, or disrupt fuel distribution to Indonesian consumers.

04

Corporate Espionage & Production Data Theft

Exploration data, seismic surveys, production sharing contract details, and reserve estimates are high-value targets for nation-state actors and competitors. Theft of this data impacts Indonesia's strategic energy planning and Pertamina's competitive position.

Regulatory Compliance

Stay compliant, stay protected

Key regulatory frameworks and standards your organization needs to meet.

PR 82

PP 71/2019 & PR 82/2022

Government Regulation on Electronic System Operation

Oil and gas companies operating critical electronic systems including SCADA, DCS, and production management systems must comply with security management requirements, incident reporting, and data localization provisions for strategic electronic systems.

UU PDP

UU 27/2022 (UU PDP)

Undang-Undang Pelindungan Data Pribadi

Oil and gas operators processing employee, contractor, and community stakeholder personal data must implement UU PDP compliance including consent management, data protection measures, and breach notification procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions

Q

How do you protect safety instrumented systems from cyber attacks?

We implement dedicated security controls for SIS including network isolation from basic process control systems, strict access controls, change management procedures, and monitoring for unauthorized modifications. Our approach follows ISA/IEC 62443 SIL integrity requirements while maintaining safety system availability.

Q

Can you assess offshore platform cybersecurity?

Yes. We conduct offshore OT security assessments including satellite communication security, remote access architecture review, DCS and SCADA evaluation, and safety system isolation verification. Assessments can be conducted both onshore via network analysis and through on-platform visits.

Q

What framework do you use for oil and gas OT security?

We base our approach on ISA/IEC 62443 for industrial automation security, supplemented by NIST SP 800-82 for industrial control systems and API 1164 for pipeline SCADA security. These frameworks are adapted for Indonesian regulatory requirements and local operational conditions.
